I liked it better than I thought I would. I went in knowing very little (how I prefer to read most books).

I liked the atmosphere throughout the book. Really nailed the “gothic” part.

Edit: I feel like that first statement should be qualified. I read a very eclectic set, and I’m always hesitant with new authors. The book started slowly, but once it got going, I really liked it.

Hey! Me, too!

For those wondering, the protagonist is “summoned” back 200+ years when her ancestor is in some danger. She goes back to her time when she is in danger of dying.

I answered this in another thread, but the Handmaid’s Tale. I read it at 17, and a lot of it just seemed unrealistic.

I reread it last year. Amazing what 20 years of perspective will do.
